More DIRECTION : Navigating The Unique Calling God Has For Your Life
$12.99
The Word of God is a powerful weapon; it has the power to challenge, strengthen and shape us. And yet, due to our increasingly short-term attention spans and noisy, fast-paced lives, many young people are struggling to find time to read it. The more BOOKS series seeks to address this problem. Aesthetically pleasing, quote-heavy, with short chapters that hold together like a series of blogposts on a theme, this series will afford readers the space (whether it be 5 minutes on the tube, or a quick evening devotional) to explore themes of the Bible in a life-applicable and accessible way. As Millennials we can often feel our lives are running a mile a minute; but some of us don’t even know where to! Where are we going? What are we made for? These questions and decisions can stop us in our tracks; making us feel hopeless and confused. In more DIRECTION readers are invited to stop, reflect and explore what the Bible says about our ‘direction’, how to find it and how to run in that direction when we do.

Women Of The Bible Speak
$26.99The women of the Bible lived timeless stories–by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith.
People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther’s bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to witness Jesus’ resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever.
In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel’s Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect not only on the meaning of each individual’s life, but on how they relate to each other and to us.
From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians, the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair, and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to better navigate our own faith journeys.
The Women of the Bible Speak outlines the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman’s individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today.
